Utah’s Republican governor is amplifying his call for political unity in a new book, arguing that escalating division and violence demand a shift toward constructive dialogue. The publication follows his public remarks after the fatal shooting of a conservative activist, where he urged Americans to reject hostility in favor of peacemaking. In a recent interview, the governor elaborates on strategies to bridge partisan divides amid growing national polarization. The discussion highlights his perspective on navigating an era marked by deep societal contempt.


In the aftermath of the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Utah Gov.

Now, the Republican governor is expanding on that message in a new book, "Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt." Cox joined Geoff Bennett to discuss more.
